  • Why Do So Many HealthTech Startups Stall After Early Traction with Dirk Schaparel

    Why Do So Many HealthTech Startups Stall After Early Traction with Dirk Schaparel
    Jan 7 2026
    Why do so many healthtech startups gain early traction… and then suddenly stall?It’s usually not the tech. It’s not the vision. And it’s rarely a lack of effort.In this episode, I’m joined by Dirk Schapeler, President of Niterra Ventures—the venture arm of Niterra, a $5B Japanese technology company operating globally across automotive, medical, and industrial products.

  • Why Sports & Health Tech Founders Miss Their Next Round

    Why Sports & Health Tech Founders Miss Their Next Round
    Dec 31 2025

    How do top investors decide where to put their millions? Hint: It’s not just about your pitch deck.

    Raising capital isn’t just about vision—it’s about proving you have the team, traction, and exit potential to make your venture worth the risk. Thomas Rudy has reviewed over 1,500 startups a year, and in this episode, he reveals what separates the YESes from the NOs.


    If you've ever felt unsure whether you’re “venture-backable,” this episode will help you reflect on the gaps holding you back—and give you the clarity to fill them with confidence.

    You’ll walk away knowing exactly how to position your company for investor alignment—from defining scalability the VC way, to building a team that de-risks execution, to reverse engineering your exit potential.


    Most startups VCs pass on aren’t bad—they just aren’t venture-scale. In this candid conversation, you’ll learn how to be brutally honest about where your startup stands and what to do next.


    💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

    ✔️ What VCs really mean when they say “you’re not scalable yet”

    ✔️ The critical difference between strategic board titles vs execution-ready teams

    ✔️ Why having “80% of funds go to tech” isn’t enough—and what to say instead

    ✔️ How to reverse engineer your exit using revenue, EBITDA, and industry multiples

    ✔️ Why some founders should skip VC entirely—and still win big

  • How Smart Founders Raise Capital Without a Final Product

    How Smart Founders Raise Capital Without a Final Product
    Dec 24 2025

    If you’re a femtech founder building in silence and still waiting for real traction—this episode is your wake-up call. The funding isn’t always the problem. It’s the missing ecosystem.

    Dr. MyPhuong Le went from struggling in academic research to co-founding a manufacturing company and now leads a thriving innovation hub in San Diego. Together, we unpacked what early-stage founders really need beyond funding: role clarity, uncomfortable conversations, and teams that align in mission—not just skillsets.

    You’ll hear how women founders in health tech are hitting investor roadblocks—not because of poor solutions, but because too many rooms still treat menstrual health and menopause like taboo topics. MyPhuong shares how breaking that silence can shift capital, culture, and credibility.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    🔶 Why building alone is one of the most dangerous things founders can do

    🔶 What roles truly matter in your founding team (hint: it’s not just tech)

    🔶 How femtech founders can win support—even when investors are uncomfortable

    🔶 Why diverse voices in health tech are finally gaining traction, and how to be part of it

    🔶 A 3-part co-founder framework to scale without burning out


    Dr. MyPhuong Le will be hosting the Global Innovation in Women’s Health Pitch Showcase 2026, with Sabrina Runbeck serving as a judge—especially for founders heading to JPM 2026. This in-person event brings together innovators, investors, and leaders advancing women’s health.
